  • an aluminum radiator which is manufactured by an extrusion molding, is widely used in an electronic apparatus, which comprises a substrate having many electronic devices mounted at high density.
  • the radiator is usually made of aluminum block since it can be manufactured by easy treatment and have excellent heat-conductivity.
  • Such aluminum radiators prevent the appearance of malfunction or destruction caused by heat of an electronic device, such as a semiconductor device. And the semiconductor device attached to such aluminum radiator is operated in excellent performance.
  • FIG.5 is a perspective view of the conventional aluminum radiator 30 mounted on a substrate 80.
  • a semiconductor device 10 to be cooled is fixed to the conventional aluminum radiator 30 through an insulation sheet 20 such as a mica sheet by tightening a screw 40.
  • the aluminum radiator 30 can not be fixed directly to the substrate 80 by soldering, the aluminum radiator 30 is fixed to metal plates 50 by caulked joints 30a, and the metal plates 50 formed in a flat plate are fixed to the substrate 80 by soldering.
  • the conventional aluminum radiator 30 is firmly fixed to the substrate 80 usually.
  • the conventional radiator 30 of the electronic device can not be easily separated from the substrate 80 by a typical or ordinary tool, and semiconductor device only can be separated from the conventional radiator 30 by removing the screw 40 with a screwdriver tool. As a result, the substrate 80 having the conventional radiator 30 must be scrapped with the other electronics in spite of the usable material as recycling resources.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a radiator assembly which can be easily separated from a substrate of an electronic apparatus in order to be used as recycling resources in a manner of a typical tool when the electronic apparatus is retired.
  • the radiator assembly for a substrate comprises: a substrate for mounting an electronic device; a fitting plate fixed to the substrate by at least a welding joint; and a radiator for cooling an electronic device which is heat-conductively attached to the radiator which is coupled to the fitting plate by mechanical connecting means, the radiator having at least a hollow forming at least an aperture for receiving a pry tool between the fitting plate and the radiator.
  • another radiator assembly in accordance with the present invention comprises: a substrate for mounting an electronic device; a radiator for cooling the electronic device which is heat-conductively attached to the radiator; and a fitting plate which is fixed to the substrate by at least a welding joint, the fitting plate being coupled to the radiator by mechanical connecting means, the fitting plate having swelled portions forming apertures for receiving a pry tool between the fitting plate and the radiator.
  • the radiator assembly in accordance with the present invention which is configured above, is constructed to have apertures between the radiator and the fitting plate so as to be inserted a typical tool for separating between the radiator and the fitting plate.
  • a typical tool such as screwdriver
  • FIG.1 is a perspective view showing a radiator assembly of a first embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG.2 is a perspective view showing the radiator assembly of FIG.1 on a way of a disassembly.
  • FIG.3 is a perspective view showing a radiator assembly of a second embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG.4 is a perspective view showing the radiator assembly of FIG.3 on a way of a disassembly.
  • FIG.5 is the perspective view showing the conventional radiator mounted on the substrate.
  • radiator assemblies to be mounted on a substrate as preferred embodiments of the present invention are described with reference to the accompanying drawings of FIGs.1 to 4.
  • FIG.1 is a perspective view showing a radiator assembly of the first embodiment embodying the present invention.
  • FIG.2 is a perspective view showing the radiator assembly of FIG.1 on a way of a disassembly.
  • a semiconductor device 1 is thermo-conductively attached to a radiator 3 with an insulation sheet 2 such as a mica sheet by tightening a screw 4 inbetween.
  • the radiator 3 having plural cooling fins is manufactured by an extrusion molding of aluminum.
  • Two metallic fitting plates 5, 5 are attached to the radiator 3 at both side faces.
  • the fitting plate 5 is slid and fitted into each-other-opposing two grooves 3a, 3a, which are formed on vertical edge portions of side wall 3d of the radiator 3 as shown in FIG.1.
  • the fitting plate 5 is firmly fixed at the predetermined position of the side wall 3d by caulking at plural portions 3b, 3b, 3b, 3b of guide rails of the grooves 3a, 3a.
  • the side wall 3d is formed to have two belt-shaped hollows 3c, 3c, namely two substantially vertical straight grooves.
  • Two apertures 7, 7 are formed by attaching the fitting plates 5 to the side wall 3d of the radiator 3, because the side wall 3d has the belt-shaped hollows 3c, 3c.
  • the apertures 7 are arranged to be close to the caulked joints 3b connecting between the fitting plate 5 and the side wall 3d of the radiator 3.
  • the aperture 7 have a grooved shape to be easily inserted by a typical tool, such as a slotted screwdriver 6.
  • the radiator 3 is firmly fixed to the substrate 8 in a manner that the fitting plates 5 are fixed to the substrate 8 by soldering.
  • the semiconductor device 1 is initially separated from the radiator 3 by removing the screw 4 with a typical tool, such as a Philip screwdriver 9 as shown in FIG.2.
  • the slotted screwdriver 6 is also inserted and the other aperture 7 is pried open, thereby removing the fitting plate 5 from the side wall 3d of the radiator 3. As a result, the radiator 3 is separated from one fitting plate 5.
  • FIG.3 is a perspective view showing a radiator assembly of the second embodiment embodying the present invention.
  • FIG.4 is a perspective view showing the radiator assembly of FIG.3 on a way of a disassembly.
  • Corresponding parts and components to the first embodiment are shown by the same numerals and marks, and the description thereon made in the first embodiment similarly apply. Differences and features of this second embodiment from the first embodiment are as follows.
  • a semiconductor device 1 is thermo-conductively attached to a radiator 3 with an insulation sheet 2, such as a mica sheet, by tightening a screw 4 inbetween.
  • the radiator 3 having plural cooling fins is manufactured by an extrusion molding of aluminum.
  • Two metallic fitting plates 15, 15 are attached to the radiator 3 at both side faces.
  • the fitting plate 15 is slid and fitted into each-other-opposing two grooves 3a, 3a, which are formed vertical on edge portions of side wall 3d of the radiator 3 as shown in FIG.3.
  • the fitting plate 15 is firmly fixed at the predetermined position of the side wall 3d by caulking at plural portions 3b, 3b, 3b, 3b of guide rails of the grooves 3a, 3a.

  • a slotted screwdriver 6 is inserted into the aperture 7, which is formed by attaching the fitting plate 15 having swelled portions 15a to the side wall 3d. And, the fitting plate 15 is pried from the side wall 3d by pushing the slotted screwdriver 6 in the aperture 7 so as to break the caulked joints 3b as shown in FIG.4.
  • the slotted screwdriver 6 is also inserted and the other aperture 7 is pried open, thereby removing the fitting plate 15 from the side wall 3d of the radiator 3. As a result, the radiator 3 is separated from one fitting plate 15.
